In the show titled “Going Wild”, RRAFA artists are challenged to pass up the peaceful and quiet landscapes or still lifes and add action and unusual ideas to their art. A sleeping bear is a wild bear, but not a wild idea. Out with the pastel and pleasant and in with bright colors and exceptional designs! The artists are encouraged to courageously think outside the box or create something unique in the box.

It's time to relive the Book Fair experience!

When Yasuko Mayhew started ceramics 18 years ago, she made an instant connection working with clay that allowed her to express her love and admiration for all types of beautiful little creatures. In the process of portraying animals, birds, fish, or amphibians realistically, she challenged herself to transform hard and heavy clay to look light, warm, rough, smooth, or fragile, to allow each piece to come to life with a "soul", because as Yasuko says, "creating an animal piece is a very solemn, quiet moment, like a prayer".

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this Sept to enjoy her new enchanting ceramic world. Stop by on First Friday on Sept 5th between 5pm-8pm to meet Yasuko in person!

Heatherann Woods' debut solo exhibition explores perspective and perception in atmospheric oil paintings by capturing ephemeral light from familiar views in the Spokane region. She invites the viewer to not only step into the space and be moved, but also engage with fellow viewers, initiating conversations, by questioning the concept of "realism" and how we project expectations instead of receive information based on personal experience.

The "September Moon" exhibition features beautifully detailed ceramic artistry by local artist Ken Scott and visiting ceramic artist Red Burnell, as well as the stunning nature-inspired paintings by painter Heidi Barnett.
Enjoy a few special paintings by Katie Frey, Kim Long, and Diane Garmire, and new works by mosiac artist, Kerry Whitsitt and many of the New Moon members This show aims to engage your senses with vibrant colors, forms, and textures, promising to soothe your eyes and soul, and bring an abundance of beauty and joy.

The Pine Creek Community Restoration Long Term Recovery Organization (LTRO) will host their fifth annual Fall Festival from noon to 4 pm. on Saturday, September 13, 2025. The day will feature a free BBQ lunch, music by Theresa Edwards and the Bobs, games, raffles, and a bike rodeo with free bike repairs sponsored by Three Forks Bike. Lunch begins at noon.
The visiting public will be able to tour Malden's new Community Center, and kids of all ages can play on the new park equipment, try out the new pump track, play corn hole, race in a gunny sack, and join the pie eating contest.”
The Pine Creek Fall Festival marks 5 years since the devastating Babb Road fire destroyed the Town of Malden and neighboring Pine City. In response to community feedback, this festival is focused on the future.
The community now boasts new homes, new residents, and two new public buildings which house the fire station, post office, library and community event space. The new trailhead park has a playground, bike repair stations, outdoor bathrooms with showers, and an amphitheater. The community center has a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen and both new buildings have high- speed fiber connectivity.

Shotgun Studios proudly presents “Generations in Color,” a powerful new exhibition uniting the art of surrealist painter Roch Fautch and his daughter, Amberle. The show will be on view from September 5 through September 27, with an exclusive artists’ reception on Friday, September 12, from 6–9 p.m.

Roch Fautch is an internationally celebrated surrealist painter and sculptor. Though largely self-taught, his expertise in diverse media—from concrete and fiberglass to intricate mold-building—has earned him worldwide recognition. A member of elite artistic societies like the International Surrealist Group, the Eurasian Art Union, and the Visionary Artist Society, Fautch's work has been a lifelong exploration of the subconscious mind.

Complementing her father’s intricate surrealism, Amberle brings a bold and soulful energy to the gallery. Her paintings are a direct reflection of her work as a musician - song writer with the same emotive harmonies and expressive spirit found in her acoustic blues-rock sound. Amberle and her husband Tone Madden perform regionally with their band called “Comin Home The Band.”

"Working with my daughter Amberle on this show has been an incredible experience," says Roch Fautch. "It's a joy to see our different passions—mine in surrealism and hers in music and painting—come together in one space." This unique collaboration, tied together by the theme “Generations in Color,” showcases the powerful connection between a father and daughter’s artistic journeys.

The public is invited to the artists’ reception on Friday, September 12, 6-9 pm at Shotgun Studios to meet both artists and celebrate this extraordinary fusion of art and legacy.
